十五 [Voice Post]

[revengeisalie]

The room is small and the air in it a little stale and I think maybe it's all the life stories that have been dragged to light here, for better or for worse. I'm kneeling and so is Nakaya, the man who is my ticket to freedom. He's nervous and shows it all too obviously - blabbering forth in a string of awkwardness. I have to reprimand him - dear

[revengeisalie]

Damn it. Figures.

What's so funny?

[Voice]

[to_turn_away]

You were that determined.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

Of course I was!

[Voice]

[to_turn_away]

Yet you came unarmed.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

I had to leave a sword behind! That would have made a fine appearance of "normal housewife and mother"!

[revengeisalie]

Besides, I had my ōgonchū!

[Voice]

[to_turn_away]

Your ōgonchū are hardly weapons. Merely distractions, as I have mentioned.

Though I do recall your plan to be part of the Itto-ryu. Heh. Appearing unarmed so as to gather my trust? Foolish, but it saved your life.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

But they're good for that - you said that yourself!

And I could have myself useful. I'm a pretty good planner, you know!

[Voice]

[to_turn_away]

You can't distract your way through battle, girl.

I suppose you had your ends met when you found me.

[Voice]

[revengeisalie]

...

Are you saying I couldn't have made it on my own?

[Voice]

[to_turn_away]

You did, didn't you? Nothing I can say will change what had happened, whether it was by luck, your own determination and foolishness, or all of those things combined.
